-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Don't think 200 /48 is totally unrealistic. There is a point in keeping the global ipv6 routing table small. Things however depends on how rapidly the industry will adapt ipv6 into their equipment. Also In the near future we will without a doubt see more connected household appliances. At the moment It's really, really hard to predict growth rate. I would say 200 /48 within 2 years.. Maybe, maybe not :-) Best regards. - --Dennis Lundström GippNET AB (AS34537) Ian.Meikle@nominet.org.uk wrote:
Hi,
Both of these proposals change the onus on an LIR from having "... a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations within two years." to having "... a plan for making at least 200 assignments to other organisations within two years."
While this increases flexibility it still has an arbritrary feel to it. Why 200 assignments?
I can see that this is meant to prevent the numberspace becoming too fractured, so reducing the size of the routing table. However, I worry that it may have the side effect of imposing a hierarchy of ISPs within IPv6 that does not meet the requirements of smaller organisations. It seems there is little interest at present within the larger UK-based ISPs in providing IPv6, (with the exception of NTT-Verio), and this change won't affect that. Is there a better way to encourage the uptake of IPv6 without preventing exponential routing table growth?

PDP Number: 2005-08 Proposal to Amend the IPv6 Assignment and Utilisation Requirement Policy
Dear Colleagues
As you might remember, it was decided during RIPE 51 that the proposal described in 2005-08, "Proposal to Amend the IPv6 Assignment and Utilisation Requirement Policy" should be split into two parts.
Accordingly, we have published two draft documents.
You can find the draft documents at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/2005-08-56s.html defining allocation efficiency measurement unit as /56
and
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/2005-08-hd-ratio.html changing the HD ratio value to 0.94
You can find the full proposal at:
http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2005-08.html
We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments to address-policy-wg@ripe.net before 24 August 2006.
Kind regards,
Filiz Yilmaz RIPE NCC Policy Development Officer
